This is using imperial measurments.

What Ive been doing for under the keel shot is to look up the keel depth and set the TDC to that depth and not under. So if the rec. manual says keel depth of 11.8 feet I set the TDC to around 11.8 feet, not 12.8 knowing the torps tend to run a bit deeper than what the TDC is set for.
I have 'fair' success with this but actually rarely use beneath the keel shots. Espically with tankers. With tankers the shallower the better seems to be the case.
